From the ‘Adjustments’ panel I often use a preset Adjustment Layer (I’ve saved some of my own in here).

I click on the preset adjustment layer I want and it appears in the Layers panel with a generic name ‘Curves [X’] or ‘Levels [Y]’ or whatever. How many times have I had to type in the preset’s name, the name which is already in the preset list (rhetorical question – loads).

Here's an example:

I insert a single preset layer into the Layers panel. In the preset list it already has the name “Compensation for Printing”; when it arrives in the Layers panel it is given a default name “Curves [X]”. I then have to type it’s name “Compensation for Printing” into the Layers panel. It would be more helpful, and time saving if, instead of having the name “Curves [X]” it had the name “Compensation for Printing”, already entered as the layer’s name.

So (to labour the point) wouldn't it be cool if, when you clicked on the preset adjustment layer, it arrived in the Layers panel with it’s name already entered. Or maybe we could have this as an option?

So if CS6 cannot do this, which from the Photoshop forum it appears not, could this be made into a ‘feature’ in a future update of Photoshop. A small thing I know but very useful. Would be awfully nice.

I was given this forum, to post my suggestion, as a link by your colleague Janell Flores. It has already been posted in the Photoshop forum.

Simon-

I just suggested using actions because it would take care of the curves adjustments you would have to make (you would just copy the same settings as the preset), as well as it would take care of the renaming process you were mentioning all in one click for you. It would be a solution for now. I definitely agree that the name should carry over, this seems very odd that it doesn't. You should request it in the ideas forum here:
